Stuck in Safe Mode - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I'm not referring about bootloader or recovery, but Safe Mode. The phone boots up, but the word Safe Mode is on the bottom left corner of my screen. My downloaded apps are missing(part of safe mode), but the pre-installed apps are still accessible.
I've tried the obvious things such as turning off and back on and pulling the battery but I can't get it to just boot normally.
I don't want to have to wipe it unless I have to, especially since I'm unsure that will fix it.
Has anyone had this problem or have any suggestions as to how to get it out of Safe Mode?
Thanks

I had an Inc come into my store a few months back that was stuck in safe mode. I tried everything I could think of that was standard policy. We called tech support and they just did a warranty replacement.

Not the answer I was hoping for....ugh.
Any other suggestions?

Try holding menu as it boots.

No luck there either

One last thing. Power off the phone. Hold vol down and power until you see Hboot. Select factory reset. You use the vol up and down to scroll and power to select. Then reboot.

i found this... link
Not sure if it would help you...

Sebahz87, already tried that as it was suggested earlier by gaby04. No luck.

Have you tried rooting it? Although I am not sure what all safe mode disables. If you can root then try flashing another rom.
Although I would still file a warranty claim unless you don't have a warranty. I can't think of anything else to help.

Ended up having to get a replacement under warranty. Looks like it was a hardware issue. My vol+up button didn't work and my vol+down button was stuck.

Can someone explain this to me please ?

Hi guys,
Im still disappointed about my screen and looking to exchange my phone pretty soon. But for now I have other issue.
Tonight I was texting with my phone and my battery was around 60%, then suddenly my phone froze and it got shut-off. I tried to turn it on but nothing happened so I removed the battery and the phone turnes on just fine. Then I notice a ~%30 drop in my battery level as it shows in the picture I have attached. What the hell is this and why mu phone froze ??
I never rooted the phone and it is still lock to Telus.
Thank You in advance.

well according tot he usage tracker, there was some serious usage by the drop on WiFi, Awake and Screen
on the other hand that sudden drop, could mean the battery actually had less charge than the sensor detected, so it readjusted itself
Oh so after the restarted the phone detected the actual charge of the phone ? So thata kinda normal ?
How about the frozen phone ? Has anyone had their T989 phone frozen so far ?

I've had mine for almost 2 weeks now (stock, not rooted) and it hasn't frozen/restarted/etc.
Also luckily I have minimal screen issues. I would exchange it and hopefully get a better one, because I really love this phone!
Not sure in your case but
i know some root only required apps allow you to push/continue anyways maybe a force close or something caused a freeze

Error - Cannot connect to camera

I get "Cannot Connect To Camera" When I use the camera app. I only get it when I use the front facing camera and reboots don't work. Im currently locked out of the camera app because I can't switch to the back camera. I don't have any other camera apps and I wasn't messing with the phone before this showed up. It worked perfectly before
This is what it shows

Are you running stock rom or are you on some custom?
The only time I've ever seen that error was when I still had my LG Ally, and when it gave me that error, it ended up being a hardware issue. It was still under warranty, so I sent it in and got a new one. With that kind of error, I'm guessing it's the same trouble, so you may look into whether or not you're still under warranty.
I.m had your problem you must reset factory your phone.
My front facing camera is green and dark, I attached a picture taken with it (it's the xda website). I guess it's a hardware issue, and I'm still under warranty but will they fix it or give me a new phone? I have unlocked my bootloader via the sony website (R800i)

Unique situation need help

My ET is pretty beat up. Used to be on my girls account but she ditched it because it kept restarting on her. I picked it up n started messing with it lately when i finally got free time and quickly figured out that the problem was just the power button. When pressed it eventually just reboots the phone for some reason , so temporarily the only solution is to leave the screen timeout to ten minutes. I also have a pretty borked usb port. Itll work but only if i hold whatever cable down really hard. Im trying to get this ET to the point where i can use it maybe with a mod where the volume buttons or bottom capacitive buttons are the power button instead. IK this is possible somehow but ive been out of the loop with thia device so i have no idea how. I managed to get stock rooted EL29 which is what im familiar and comfortable with but theres no cwm or twrp. So basically what im asking is if someone can bring me up to speed to where i can get a nice rom going on this thing with possibly the aeforementioned mod so i can use this device thats other wise being wasted. Thanks in advance.

If you are running el29 then you need to flash a kernel with recovery. If your usb port is messed up then you can use mobile odin to flash a kernel. If there is no physical damage or water damage to the phone then take it to a Sprint service center and pay the $36 or whatever to get it repaired under warranty.
Do you know if any of the jb rims or the like have mods to use other buttons as the power button.? I'm actually not even using the phone on sprint so can't get a replacement.

If its been less than a year since purchase you can contact samsung for a warranty repair. Also there are apps in the market to do what you want.

I can't seem to get any of those apps to actually work. I have an independent battery charger so I really just need a way to turn the screen on without the power button. Could've sworn there were ROMs that had this type of mod as an option.

i believe widget locker(lockscreen replacement) will allow the use of volume to turn on the screen.

Not sure why it happens but I've seen it before. Happened to my wife's gs5 coming from rooted gs4. Pull the SD card and reboot a few times and see if that fixes it. Might have to factory reset. Hers would start having FC's when that happened.

Oh okay. Thanks for the help. Just tried pulling the card and rebooting a few times still says it. Have used this card before with no issues but guess it was time. Phone is working fine will mess with it some more and reboot a few more times. Just set it up so will hold off on factory reset ha ha

You switched to ART?
Maybe he got an unlocked bootloader or root?
No, all the OP did is switch to ART. It has done this on previous Samsung phones too. Completely normal.
I switched to ART and I don't have the lock when I reboot.
Some Launchers will throw it. Are you using Apex or something similar?
That is a screen on boot indicating that the boot loader is in fact unlocked.
What does your phone say when in download mode or recovery?
This could be huge if the bootloader is unlocked.

It has happened with another phone I had. We couldn't do **** and some dude pops up with an engineering boot loader on his new phone.
Well even if it is unlocked it does do any good unless a developer figures out a way to get it on everyone else's phones. .. i really hate AT&T right now.

Well if we can get a copy of that partition we may be able to do something with it, if it's an AT&T Note 4 running it. If it can be installed on that AT&T Note 4 it may pass the signature checks or bypass them.

Tried restarting to recovery mode, instead ended up in some gray screen

So I just changed my HTC 10 Verizon to US Unlocked, and while setting it up I noticed the wifi was really slow. I googled the issue, and found a suggestion to reboot to recovery, and wipe cache partition.
Instead, I ended up on some weird Grey screen and now the phone won't react to anything.
Anyone see this before? I tried googling this, but can't find anything on this particular issue.

I can't get into recovery. It's been stuck there for a couple of hours. Nothing works. Vol up + vol down + power doesn't even work to get into bootloader. I can't even power it off by holding the power button

Try holding vol up+down+power for a longer period of time. It'll take quite a while. Hold it for a minute or two if you have to

Oh wow... That actually worked. But you were right. I had to hold then down for about 30 seconds. My fingers were going numb. WiFi is still slow tho... But at least it's not bricked .
Now wifi flying, after the September 2017 update. WEird how it was super slow before that....
